World Cup 10m Match Kicks Off with a World Record

The traditional Austria Open event around Corpus Christi holidays in Innsbruck opened the saison in the 10m Match Division series of World Cups. On day one, the first relay of the men’s competition brought a result of the extraordinary class, just one point close to the absolute score of 400. Dimitri Dutendas (FRA) scored a row of tens (100, 100, 100, 99), just with a single close 9 in the 39th shot, and raised the 10m world record to the value of 399. The holder of the previous world record, Romain Meignan (FRA) finished second with a total of 394. The bronze medal was won by Simon Eiglsperger (GER), scoring 393 points.

The women’s category brought another type of difference. The medal winners (1. Marie Roy / FRA, 2. Coline Hamelin / FRA and 3. Jolanda Prinz / GER) scored all the same result of 389 points, so that the medal value had to be decided by the value of the last series of 10 shots. Moreover, places 4, 5 and 6 followed by a score of 388 – which is promising for the upcoming competitions for the world ranking placement.

The second issue of the 10m World Cup will continue on the next day.
